MATCH REPORT | Defeat against Real Madrid (0-1)

First loss of the season

Real Betis Balompié lost tonight against Real Madrid CF at Benito Villamarín Stadium. The team played a really good first half, in which they were superior to the rivals. However, the second half was different and the away side scored the only goal of the game through Carvajal.

In the first half, the game was quite even, although as minutes went by, Real Betis controlled the ball more and created more danger.

However, the second half changed the course of the game and Madrid came on better from the dressing room. Juanmi had a phenomenal chance but took the wrong decision. In the counterattack of that play, Carvajal scored. From a possible 1-0, the score went to 0-1.

In the last play of the match, Montoya had another great chance to level up the score, but Courtois saved it.
